We came, we saw, we interviewed SMBs about AI.    We asked 500+ SMBs about why they're seeking external expertise when it comes to implementing AI. Here's what they told us ⤵️    ✅ Support - SMBs know they can't adopt AI alone, so they're looking to MSPs for support and ongoing assistance, specifically with technical, maintenance, and operational functions.    ✅ Technical integration - SMBs are looking for an MSP that can help them incorporate AI tools/systems seamlessly into their existing infrastructures.    ✅ Training - SMBs understand that employee training is key to maximizing AI's potential, and they’re looking to MSPs for support to bridge this knowledge gap.   ✅ Project management & management services - SMBs are expecting MSPs to provide strategic oversight and structured execution of AI initiatives while ensuring that AI systems continue to operate optimally after they've been deployed.    ✅ Product and brand selection assistance - SMBs want an expert to guide them in purchasing AI tools and solutions that fit their specific business goals and industry standards.    This is just a glimpse into how your clients are thinking about AI. See our full report in the comments to get a complete picture of AI buying trends for SMBs.
